Senator Scott Responds To Brennan’s Trump-Russia Collusion Op-Ed:
dailycaller.com ^ | 8:41 PM 08/18/2018 | Scott Morefield

“If there is a scintilla of evidence that the president colluded with the Russians and Brennan had that evidence, the entire world would already know,” Scott said during a Fox News appearance with host Neil Cavuto.

In a Thursday op-ed published in the New York Times, Brennan based his claim that President Trump colluded with Russia on the fact that then-candidate Trump “publicly called upon Russia to find the missing emails of Mrs. Clinton” during the 2016 campaign.

“By issuing such a statement, Mr. Trump was not only encouraging a foreign nation to collect intelligence against a United States citizen, but also openly authorizing his followers to work with our primary global adversary against his political opponent,” Brennan wrote.

Responding to Brennan’s contention directly, Scott said, “So the fact of the matter is, a part of what he said in his op-ed is that the president’s public comments suggest collusion. I think that’s ridiculous.”

I’m confused..

Are you talking about putting a dress on a goat or preparing one for the spit?

As I recall, it was well after Gusifer II (the foreign hacker) announced that he had been in Hillary's server, and learned of it when he broke into Podesta's email.

It was obviously a joke, which the media has purposely twisted to try to create a narrative.

OMG how can these morons get away with this? Trump made a JOKE mocking Hillary and THIS is what they point to as Russian collusion. Absolutely moronic.

Of course. This is just to provide a distraction from Obama and Hillary’s REAL crimes.

These “Russia” lies only work on brain-dead liberals.

You credit Brennen for having integrity by suggesting he honestly fell for it and was simply being honest and truthful in his belief that Trump was signaling something to the Ruskies. Brennen did no such thing. The scum that he (Brennen) is, he knew the truth of the joke Trump intended. He was merely counting on the fact that if he pretended to believe and insisted such and such was Trump’s intent that he could make brain dead Democrat voters believe it and they would hate Trump even more.

I’m going to ask the admin mods to again ‘splain how some FReepers are more equal than others when it comes to not posting the full text of relatively short articles (even when they are essentially a vanity to a personal blog).

It’s Orwellian, but a fact...

Thank you Paladin. This is especially true for articles that don’t need to be excerpted, like this one from The Daily Caller.

You have some deep seated troubling issues.

I’m afraid we can’t help you.
